Like I said, I haven't touched SyncToy, but I thought I heard them stating that it was working with their home directories on the SAN, no FTP necessary. We do have pretty fast links, though.

They are both great for relatively simple - or not so simple - backups. The beauty of LiveSync is that it will let you link folders of various PCs via the Internet and it will then move files as needed to keep all the folders on all the PCs in sync - and it is fast.It appears that neither SyncBack or SyncToy can do this without access to an FTP server. Am I reading this right for SyncBack and SyncToy? I suppose I could use SyncBack or SyncToy if I were to map drives on the various PCs through Hamachi, but that's a bit spotty.I've done something similar in the past with a VPN server and SecondCopy, but it's tedious and seems to suck up a lot of bandwidth. Any other suggestions? I really can't move up to Windows 7 as I have legacy applications that just won't handle it. On Mon, Oct 11, 2010 at 11:23 AM, Andrew S.

Can anyone confirm that? I've read statements both ways online. Is anyone aware of an alternative - free or otherwise - that will replace LiveSync functionality without requiring users to drag files/folders into an additional, special folder (ala dropbox) to conduct a sync? I've been trying SugarSync, but it is painfully slow.
